She was pissed off because she couldn't find anywhere in CA to get her five cent refund on her G. bottles. She felt we should have a list of where to take them. She had 25 bottles, and she wanted her 1.25.

She was so vile, I finally told her if she'd give me her address, I'd send her five dollars just to forget about it. (I was told I wouldn't be monitored any more that week, so I have having a lot of fun with everyone who called.)

She was so shocked she burst out laughing and I ended up regaling her with stories of other callers who were bitching because they took their bottles to Maine to get a refund (they were from NH or VT), and the Maine refund centers said they had to show proof of residency. In every case, the person at the recycling refund center offered to take the bottles anyway. (How loving and kind!!!) One man said, "no way", and drove his van of G bottles back to VT.

Someone else opened the call, "I tried using your automated system to figure out how old this bottle was"

ME: That was your first mistake right there.

Caller: See, I bought this bottle of G.....

ME: And there's your second mistake.

And I finally said something I have always wanted to:

Caller: I just love your new beverage, P.

ME: Thank you. I made it myself.

okay, so i got annoyed yesterday when someone told me i looked like debra winger.

i find her most unfeminine and unattractive.

but it doesn't piss me off half as much as when i'm told i look like liza minelli.

When I have short hair, I get Liza Minelli. When I have long hair, I get Judy Garland. There is at least some consistency going there.

Yes, I kinda do look like both.

jw's can't do this.

they can't do that.

restrictions abound.

I drink at least a gallon of pop each day. Does that count?

LOL, drwtsn. But the question which begs asking is "what kind?" I down about a gallon of Diet Pepsi a day. Nectar of the goddesses.

Weds, yes, I see you as a beautiful Sally Field. Actually, I've gotten her as well.

a woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to.

ask, what are you thinking?

I wouldn't go back to my 20s for the world. I was so untrue to myself. Not anymore and never again will I be untrue to myself. I have so much more now in so many ways.

Very well put, Lisa. I feel the same. I have much much more to offer than super firm breasts (yes, they do lose their firmness, guys) and a tight butt. Although I gotta tell you, the advantage to being small breasted is....

no sagging. None. Even at 48. And I breastfed for 5 years straight.

Boy, am I full of myself today or what? I had an excuse last night, I was drinking. From where is all this arrogance coming?

Well I guess that would mean you older gals(40 and up) like the younger men then eh?

Of course we do. We are like men in that sense. Who wouldn't want a hunk like Hamas on her arm?

I wouldn't trade Tim in for anything.

Conversation between a friend about men:

Dee: "I'm trying in vain to train Justin. It's so hard. He just doesn't understand my sexual needs."

Me: "Tim (56) came already trained."

My young ex husband (15 years my junior) did not have a clue. I'm not saying all 24 year old men are clueless (I was 39 at the time) but he most definitely was.

But it doesn't piss me off half as much as when I'm told I look like Liza Minelli. I don't think I look like Talia Shire either, and defnitely not Cher, but I've gotten those as well.

Everyone thinks my older daughter closely resembles Winona Ryder, and the younger Kate Winslet. I do see strong resemblances.

What's the deal with telling others they look "just like xxx"? I suppose it's meant to be a compliment, "looking" like a "star"....

Haven't read the posts, but want to say.... I would NEVER go back to being 24. Oh, I was very pretty (so pretty that even I will admit it...I've got photo proof), but I have so much more to offer now. In every way. To others. And, more importantly, to myself.

just wanted to say i'm so sorry for not welcoming all the new ones, not responding yet to all the wonderful replies to my posts, not saying happy birthday to everyone, and not being a good friend to those in need.

i've been sick, as well as preoccupied.

there's a major rant building up in me....which i will append to this post; aren't you all lucky.. i feel like such a frigging loser.. let me just say: it's no one's fault that i got sick and had to start my life over, esp.

Thanks, everyone.

Yes, my boss said something (once again) today. It really hurt. She seems to get a great deal of pleasure hurting me.
